Great question. My folks owned a mom and pop diner some years back. They used to make an apple spiced bread pudding, which actually jiggled like a pudding, warm and custardy, it melted on the tongue. Most of the bread pudding I've had around Seattle has been firmer and dryer, if not spongy, and the best part is often a whisky sauce. So, for those answering this question, can you tell me a place that has a more custardy version?
